Hurricanes during June – Atlantic Hurricane Season is here

The Atlantic hurricane season is the time in a year when hurricanes typically form in the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical twisters in the North-Atlantic are called hurricanes, tropical storms, or tropical depressions. Furthermore, there have been numerous storms over the years that haven’t been fully tropical which are categorized as subtropical depressions and subtropical storms.

Global, tropical cyclone action peaks at the end of summer, when the difference between temperatures in the air and sea surface temperatures is the highest. However, each specific basin has its very own cyclical patterns. On a global scale, May is the least active month, while September is the most active. In the Northern Atlantic Ocean, a different hurricane season occurs from June first to November 30, abruptly peaking from late August through September; the season’s climatological peak of action occurs around September ten each season.

Tropical turbulences that reach tropical storm strength are named from a pre-defined list. On average, ten named storms occur each season, with an average of six becoming hurricanes and two and a half becoming major hurricanes (Category 3 or bigger). The most active season was 2005, during which twenty eight tropical cyclones formed, of which a record fifteen became hurricanes. The least active season was the 1914, with only 1 recognized tropical cyclone emerging during that period. The Atlantic hurricane season is a period when most tropical cyclones are expected to grow across the northern Atlantic Ocean. It’s presently defined as the time frame from June first through November thirty, though in the past the season was defined as a smaller time frame. During that time, regular tropical weather reviews are distributed by the National Hurricane Center, and co-direction between the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center and National Hurricane Center happens for patterns which haven’t shaped yet, but could develop in the next 3 to 7 days.
